Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm one who think that good things shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. This pack has some very nice features that the $200.00+ packs have. Bellows pockets. Plenty of room for the sleeping bag, bunches of space, easy zippers, a rain cover and is fully adjustable in all the right places.
Cons: It's a bit heavy at 5.5lbs ..but I've seen quite a few of the more expensive packs at the same weight. Also the bottle pockets aren't easy to reach with the pack on and loaded ...can be done but not easy.
I've paid more and had fewer features than this pack. Not a bad buy at all ...now I'm off to the Cascades for a good season of testing!
Fall Update:
After a summer backpacking around the Washington Wilderness areas, I would still have to say that this pack was a good buy. Plenty of room and easy to get to everything. So much room! Although a summer of backpacking sure helped point out the bad parts, two of them mainly: The back is heavy and it doesn't completely sit on your back well. The contour allows air to the back which is nice but it is as if the lumbar support is off a bit ..a little to low mainly.
At the same time, the pros outweighed the cons enough so that I didn't go back to my old pack which is *much* lighter with better padding and I used this pack through the whole 2006 season.
